This version is drastically different from the version most of us remember playing over a decade ago. It now features annoying pop-ups and in-game purchases that devastate the original feel to the game. Now I experience issues as well with having to frequently close out the game from the Steam interface, as it has bugs causing it to load forever. The same has occurred when I try to start a new game, I answer all the questions (7 + 3 = 10) to restart my game, and then I get a loading screen that never finishes loading. I'm not going to uninstall and reinstall a game that I never even put much time into (most of the hours spent in it were not active) just to get it to function how it should in the first place. I believe these technical issues have to do with how the game has been altered from it's original version. Overall, I'm super disappointed and I wish I would have never spent the time on it. I loved all the other games as well (Virtual Villagers 1 and 3, Virtual Families, etc.) but now I would not risk putting time and hope into them knowing that they are likely diminished versions of their glory days. Most of the people still playing these games from this developer are those that find it nostalgic. Remove the original feel, you remove the nostalgia, and you lose your most important audience. A sad goodbye to the franchise.

just wasted 20 lava stones resurrecting an dead villager with high skills, and the game killed him. I'm done. The heavy monitization is killing the game, I enjoyed the first one, but this is just a pain. I was looking for a fun casual, and this is not it.

didnt get the villagers that was promised with the stater pack

Frustrating glitches. Lost lot of in-game progress due to them

Huge fan of LDOW but this game isn't it. Ruins the virtual villagers experience

Disappointing and Buggy Experience

As a longtime fan of simulation games, I was excited to try Virtual Villagers Origins 2, but it turned out to be a huge letdown. While I understand that it's a free game and developers need to make money through in-app purchases like lavastone and additional features, the game is riddled with bugs and feels poorly made.

One of the most frustrating issues was that sometimes progress didn’t register, which made it difficult to enjoy the game. Most of the times, I can't even exit the game properly and had to resort to Ctrl+Alt+Del. If I clicked on the settings button, it'll immediately reset my resolution and made everything blurry.

Beyond the technical problems, the gameplay itself felt lacking. The puzzle solutions and crafting mechanics were often nonsensical, leaving me confused rather than challenged. Without paying, the game was really unbalanced, making it hard to progress smoothly. It was very disappointing to lose items that took days to craft due to bugs and silly mistakes.

It’s particularly disappointing because I’ve played past games from this developer, and they were awesome and much better made. This instalment feels like a big step backward, tarnishing the developer's reputation in my eyes. Based on this experience, I refuse to spend any money on this game and hesitate to buy any future games from this developer.

If you're considering downloading Virtual Villagers Origins 2, be prepared for a buggy, frustrating, and unbalanced experience that doesn't live up to the standards of a well-made game.

very frustrating and tedious, compared to the other VV games and quite a few annoying time consuming bugs.

Starter pack stated that I would get 3 free villagers, I bought the pack twice and did not get any villagers. I only ordered the packs for the 6 villagers.

wast of time can not bi anything or udate
